Several IMI companies joined forces to put together a package of valves and actuators for China Petrochemical International (Nanjing) Company, demonstrating the real commercial value to IMI of 'acting as one'.

The package of valves and actuators was destined for use in China Petrochemical's coal liquefaction process, and showcased numerous IMI technologies, including:

24" cryogenic butterfly valves from IMI Orton

Quarter turn actuators from IMI STI

IMI Norgren's filters and regulators (part of IMI Precision)

IMI Maxseal solenoids from Thompson Valves (part of IMI Precision)

positioners from IMI Watson Smith (also part of IMI Precision)

The project was led by IMI STI for the actuators with Thompson Valves to trial their new partial stroking solenoid. Alberto Aliani, Managing Director, IMI Orton, said: "This project really shows how by sharing our skills, knowledge and facilities, we can both serve our customers better, and achieve real commercial benefits for IMI. It's a win-win situation."​
